a deal with captain CAVIK TOTH
and the Trade Federation that could
secure victory in the war to come....

In much the same manner as Star Wars: Starfighter, the sequel allows players to pilot a variety of starfighters in a 3D space simulation set across fifteen campaign levels and multiple bonus levels. In addition to mission objectives required to be completed by the player, each level contains one bonus and one hidden objective, the completion of which unlocks secret missions, videos, and playable starfighters.

Reti escorts Adi to Maramere, where Nym and his lieutenantJinkins are attempting to steal codes to an orbital prison from a small island base. Their mission is a success, but only with Adi's help do they defeat the Federation forces deployed to stop them. Nym refuses to hear Gallia out, though he does allow her to join the raid on Spacestation 1138, where members of the Mere Resistance are being held. The codes procured by Jinkins allow Captain Orsai and his men to escape prison, and, with Nym, Gallia and other pilots flying interference, the escapees board the Liberator and escape into hyperspace.

With his team bolstered, Nym returns to Maramere to destroy a sensor station that has been tracking his movements over the past decade. The strike force battles past the station's aquatic defenses, and is successful in destroying the facility. However, the NeimoidianHarro Ruuk survives, and launches a desperate attack on Nym's forces from a sumbersible assault craft. He puts up formidable resistance, but is ultimately overwhelmed and his vessel destroyed—though Ruuk himself ejects, and flees the scene.

In orbit over Nod Kartha, Captain Toth, accompanied by Lieutenant Bella, meets with three Neimoidians in charge of the trihexalon project. Toth is displeased by their lack of motivation, and turns their own weapon against them, killing the project leaders and assuming control himself. Meanwhile, Nym and Jinkins launch an attack on a Federation mining facility at Mount Merakan, while Adi, Reti and Sol Sixxa defend Point Modie from Toth's first trihexalon weapon test.

Jedi Starfighter.

Realizing the threat of this new weapon, Nym and his team make for Nod Kartha, the heavily-defended center of trihexalon production. Upon emerging from hyperspace over the planet, Captain Orsai's cruiser, Kethor, is struck by an orbital defense cannon, leaving only the Tritus as the team's heavy weapons cruiser. While it and the starfighters battle Vulture droids, Scarab fighters and droid bombers, the Kethor sets a collision course with one of the planet's three orbital deflector shield generators. His men evacuate the doomed cruiser, though Orsai himself goes down with his ship as it smashes into the generator, destroying it. At that point, Sabaoth Squadron arrives in the form of several frigates and waves of Sabaoth starfighters. Nym's forces fight back, and are eventually able to destroy the remaining two generators, and make for the surface. However, Jango Fett also joined the battle, and forced Reti into hyperspace, destination unknown.

Two pilots down, the strike team continues undaunted, launching a brave attack on the main trihexalon production facility. Fending off starfighters and Trade Federation frigates, Nym is able to enter the factory and bomb the main reactor, effectively cutting off Toth's supply of Hex weapons. Mission accomplished, the team decides to split: Adi has been ordered to Geonosis, to aid with a large-scale invasion, while Nym intends to take back his base on Lok. The two part on friendly terms, with Nym having finally come to respect the Jedi Master. As Adi departs, Nym's pilots battle the Sabaoth destroyerReaver to a disabled Orbital Defense Cannon over Nod Kartha, intending to assemble it on the moon over Lok.

Meanwhile, Nym marshals his forces for a strike against the Trade Federation base on Lok, formerly Nym's own headquarters. First, they attack Lok's moon, Khons, and set up their captured cannon. It becomes a race against time with the arrival of a Trade Federation cruiser, though the Lok Revenants are able to install the cannon and destroy the oncoming cruiser. The cannon is deployed during Nym's main assault on the base, where it destroys several refueling Trade Federation dropships as Nym battles waves of starfighters. Sol Sixxa leads a speeder bike squad on a commando mission to destroy the main doors, allowing Nym to enter the base. Lieutenant Bella is waiting for him in her assault transport, and engages Nym in a vicious dogfight. Nym prevails, and finally takes back Lok. He is also joined by Vana Sage, companion from the battle of Naboo, who promises to track down Reti, else learn of his fate.

The First Battle of Geonosis has begun. Adi and Siri return to orbit, only to find Captain Toth's Hex fleet assembled above, ready to bomb the planet's surface and destroy the Republic war effort. Adi and Siri, aided by several other Jedi pilots in Delta-7 fighters, destroy the Hex Deployers and Bombers, though are subsequently forced to contend with two Sabaoth Destroyers and their starfighter complements. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of Nym's team, soon followed by three Mere cruisers. The Destroyers are overwhelmed, though a third appears to take their place: Toth's flagship. This, too, is unable to stand against the combined firepower of the Lok Revenants, though Toth himself escapes his doomed flagship in a personal starfighter. He challenges Adi to a dogfight, but is no match for the Jedi Master. He loses control of his starfighter, which explodes moments before his flagship suffers the same fate.

The battle below is won, though not without cost, as Mace Windu relays to Adi. Fortunately, with Toth dead, the Sabaoth Squadron is no longer a threat. The Jedi attempt to recruit Nym, impressed with his actions during the campaign, though he remains wary of joining the Jedi. Nevertheless, he is now a firm ally of the Republic, and Adi promises to continue serving as the protector of the Karthakk system.

In the bonus level 'Jango Fett', Reti will show up his Zoomer if Fett flies near a lone asteroid. In the the Xbox version of the game it is simply one Reti. However, in the PlayStation 2, multiple Retis will appear.

The actor Jeff Seaberg provided the voices for several characters, including Kole's.

Certain dialogue in the game will change if the player has a save file from Star Wars: Starfighter in their memory.

In Escort Duty, sometimes Imperial TIE Fighters may show up and X-Wings will come to assist you, given the enemies are randomized.
